Ingredients:


1 pound spaghetti -- linguini, or other pasta of your choice

2 cans peeled Italian tomatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon oregano

1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes

1/2 cup tiny black nicoise olives

1/4 cup drained capers

4 cloves garlic -- peeled and minced

8 fillets anchovie filets -- chopped

1/2 cup chopped parsley

2 tablespoons salt
 

Preparation / Directions:


1. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil; add salt and stir in spaghetti. Cook until tender but still firm. Drain, and transfer to heated plates. 2. While spaghetti is cooking, drain the tomatoes, cut them cross- wise into halves, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine tomatoes and olive oil in a skillet and bring to a boil. Keep the sauce at a full boil and add remaining ingredients except pasta, one at a time, stirring frequently. 3. Reduce heat and continue to cook for a few minutes, or until sauce has thickened to your liking. Serve immediately over hot pasta and garnish with additional parsley.
